초록

본 논문에서는 FPGA를 이용하여 디지틀 방식으로 영상 레이다에 사용하는 주파수 변조된 첩(Chirp) 신호를 생성하고, 이 신호를 I-Q 변조하여 RF 신호로 변환 한 후 24 주파수 체배기로 체배하여 94 GHz W-대역에서 광대역 첩 신호발생 장치의 설계, 제작한 연구 결과를 제시한다. 개발된 첩 발생기는 94 GHz의 캐리어 주파수와 960 MHz의 대역폭을 가지는 주파수 변조된 신호이며, 평탄도는 IF단(3.9 GHz)에서 1 dB 이내, W-대역에서 2 dB 이내 그리고 3 W의 출력을 보여주고 있다.

In this paper, we describe the designed digital waveform of a linear frequency-modulated (FM) chirp signal using field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) for image radar, and this signal is modulated with an I-Q modulator, and multiplied by 24 frequency multipliers to obtain a 94-GHz W-band wideband chirp generator. The developed chirp generator is an FM signal with a 94-GHz carrier frequency and a 960-MHz bandwidth, and the flatness is less than 1.0 dB at intermediate frequency (IF) (3.9 GHz), 2.0 dB in the W-band, and it has a 0.3-W output power in the W-band.
